Kim Kardashian may soon be leaving the hit E! reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" as her husband Kanye West is reportedly fed up with her life being exposed on television.
The 37-year-old rapper is encouraging his 33-year-old wife to exit the reality show that made her internationally famous, and instead go "high end" and pursue an image like that of former Spice Girls member turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham, the Sunday People reported.
"While Kanye would never make Kim do something, he would rather she didn't star on the show," a source close to the Kardashian family told the British tabloid newspaper. "He wants to live his life in private and he just thinks Kim would be better off doing the same."
"She is gradually coming around to the same thinking," continued the tipster. "But it's a difficult one for her because most of her family rely on her being there selling her life to the cameras."
"It is very likely that she will bow out shortly, though the series is still such a massive hit," added the source.
The mommy of one, however, previously denied rumors that she would leave her hit E! reality series. "Heard a silly rumor that I'm quitting the show! Not true!" she tweeted in March right before the show started filming for its tenth season.
The 21-time Grammy-winning recording artist, who reportedly banned their daughter North from ever appearing in the series, rarely appeared on the show, but made a few exceptions for his wife.
He agreed filming his marriage proposal to Kardashian at AT&T Park in San Francisco last year. He also allowed the show to document their Florence wedding, which was part of the Aug. 31 episode of the show episode, Entertainmentwise reported.
"I don't really do her show just because I don't particularly like the way the producers shoot some of the shots," West said in an interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez in November. "I'm very meticulous to that, right? I like to get a different DP [director of photography] or whatever."
"When we got engaged, I made sure the show was there because I felt like that was something that would make her happy," he added. "Regardless of how it was shot, I felt like this is a moment she would like to have and would like to share, and just have that documented. And we could decide later or not to air it."
